brock brings up the key to this whole question.
if DThomas shows up at Belmont,
you get a decent price on Bernardini(above even money for sure).
if not, then you get nothing, as you should.
DThomas can show up, Invasor can show, hell Cigar can unretire and show, it does not matter.
Bernardini is going to have to fall out of the gate to lose.
total freak.

D Thomas help the price of Bernardini? I have never heard of the horse. Can somebody please tell me who this horse is and where he hails from? I imagine he is a euro grass horse who will be a fashionable pick for many of the so called experts on Cup Day. These are getting pretty old.

That's correct, Gander. He just beat Ouija Board in a very sharp race a few weeks ago. Trainer Aidan O'Brien confirmed Dylan Thomas will go in the JCGC, according to Bloodstock Journal. Johnny V will ride.

This horse will rightfully take some money in the JCGC. Ateam, my guess on Bernardini's odds in the JCGC is now 6-5. (assuming Invasor, DylanT, and 2nd of June all go)

Thanks Dunbar. I look forward to seeing the new kid on the block. If he runs like the Euros played golf this weekend, our horses are in some trouble!

Here's a replay link as posted elsewhere by MyMissStormCat. I'm not sure if the link is still active, because the computer I'm typing from has ActiveX restrictions.

Thanks for the link. Very game run, but dare I say beating Ouija Board on grass in Ireland is a bit different than beating Bernardini on dirt in New York..

[hoovesupsideyourhead]

its all dini and you know this...play him in the 3 and 4...all other value is gone......"and thats it"..."hes gone"...."theirs nothing we could do "

ateam, you can dare say it, and I would dare agree. But the replay does tell us two things.

1. This is a world-class horse currently in excellent form.

2. The horse has grit. (That was a fine stretch battle)

What we don't know, as you said, is whether Dylan Thomas can run on dirt. But I think he will draw some money.
